The Union Association would last 4 seasons, until 1914 when the league folded. The
Miners would not play in 1915, but did return to the Class B Northwestern League
in 1916 to play for 2 seasons, when Aberdeen and Victoria dropped out. By 1918
the league had folded signaling the end of the Miners professional career.
In all the Miners played 12 seasons of professional baseball at Columbia Gardens.
When Clark Park was built in 1922 closer to downtown, it became the hub of all
semi-pro baseball in Butte and signaled the end for Columbia Gardens, which
was then demolished.

Our special thanks go out to Fred E. Sagebaum for

Mining. We appreciate his work in helping us to represent the ballpark of Butte
Montana.
